In an other instance the consumer may want to retrieve orders with associated products.

I dont have any problem with mapping real objects to dtos. but in a special case ,the real object has some relations to the other objects and dto object should flatten it, then I have to use "using Convert" method, but it seems that this configuration wont work if I use it in dto project and I have to reconfigure it in the other project. how can I solve this prpoblem without reconfiguring mapping ?<br />Comments: <p>All issues moved to GitHub https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/issues</p>jbogardFri, 02 Sep 2011 22:47:39 GMTClosed Issue: UsingConvert configuration dose not work [4838] 20110902104739PClosed Issue: Multithreading support [3197]http://automapper.codeplex.com/workitem/3197There is no support for multithreading work now as I see.
